Strengths and weaknesses
Brolic
- Free with no ads and nothing locked
- Leaderboards by country, city and weight class
- Community voting keeps fake lifts off the boards
- No AI-generated programs or coaching
- iPhone and iPad only
Brolic is a quick workout logger with a twist: every lift has a leaderboard, worldwide or narrowed to your country, city or weight class, and it shows exactly what you need to pass the next person. Other lifters can vote on suspicious numbers, which keeps the boards more honest than most. Programming tools are lighter than Hevy or Fitbod, but logging is fast and everything is free.

Privacy needs attention: check your visibility settings and hide your start and end points before posting a run from home.
